Guelph Trees Are Our Specialty

Guelph's tree stock has taken a beating over the last decade — emerald ash borer killed off most of the city's ash trees, and ice storms keep testing the silver maples that dominate older neighbourhoods like St. George's Park and Exhibition Park. A lot of what we remove is exactly that: dead ash and storm-damaged maple.

Crews we work with carry full liability insurance and WSIB coverage, use proper rigging on tight residential lots, and chip and haul everything unless you want the wood left for firewood. If a tree is near hydro lines, we coordinate with Alectra before any cutting happens.

We serve: Guelph, Rockwood, Fergus, Elora, Puslinch, Aberfoyle, Eden Mills and surrounding Wellington County communities.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does tree removal cost in Guelph?

Small trees (under 30 ft) typically run $300–$700. Mid-size trees are $700–$1,500. Large or hazardous removals — big maples, dead ash near structures — run $1,500–$4,000+ depending on access and rigging required. Every quote is fixed-price after a free on-site look.

Do I need a permit to remove a tree in Guelph?

Often yes. Guelph's Tree By-law protects trees 10 cm in diameter or larger on many private properties, and there are additional rules in older neighbourhoods. We tell you during the assessment whether your tree needs a permit and help with the paperwork if it does.

Can you remove a tree that's touching hydro lines?

Not directly — no private crew can. Alectra Utilities must clear or disconnect lines first. We coordinate that for you as part of the job.

What happens to the wood and branches?

Branches get chipped on site and hauled away. Trunk wood is either hauled or, if you prefer, bucked into firewood lengths and left stacked — your call, no price difference.

Is winter a bad time for tree work?

Actually the opposite — frozen ground protects your lawn, trees are dormant, and crews have more availability. Removal prices are often better November through March.
